Effects of subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation on motor cortex excitability.

BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation of the internal global pallidus (GPi) and the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has become a treatment alternative in advanced PD. Although the effects of GPi stimulation have been examined recently, little is known about STN stimulation effects on motor cortex excitability. METHODS The effects of STN stimulation were studied in eight patients with advanced PD using ...

Frequency Based Mapping of the STN Borders

During deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson disease, the target is the subthalamic nucleus (STN). STN is small, (9 x 7 x 4 mm) and typically localized by a series of parallel microelectrodes. As those electrodes are in steps advanced towards and through the STN , they record the neurobiological activity of the surrounding tissues. By careful inspection and analysis of such recordi...

Does early verbal fluency decline after STN implantation predict long-term cognitive outcome after STN-DBS in Parkinson's disease?

BACKGROUNDS An early and transient verbal fluency (VF) decline and impairment in frontal executive function, suggesting a cognitive microlesion effect may influence the cognitive repercussions related to subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS). METHODS Neuropsychological tests including semantic and phonemic verbal fluency were administered both before surgery (baseline), the thi...
